  Comments:
Probably not worth making a カラーキー/カラー・キー entry as the gloss would be a problem. I'll index the カラー in that sentence to sense 4.

  Comments:
That's a separate sense but I'm not sure it's needed, especially if it only appears in compounds. There are plenty of other technical meanings of キー/"key" that I didn't bother to include.

カラー・キー・プログラム・システムでは全ての色が「クールパレット」と「ウォームパレット」の2つに分けられる。  With the colour key program system, all colours are divided into two palettes, the "cool palette" and the "warm palette".
  Comments:
The sentence uses カラー・キー. Here キー means code. I'm suggesting that be added to sense 4, but it could be a new sense.
I've reindexed some sentences.
